While discussing the exercises they’re doing in gym class, my eldest son pointed out something to me about pull-ups that I’ve never considered until now.

You really only need to be able to do one pull-up because in a real life scenario where you’re dangling from a bridge and need to save yourself, you’re not going to impress anyone by doing two or more. Same thing if you need to quickly scamper over a wall when the police are chasing you – one good pull-up is really all you need. Anything more in gym class or real world scenarios is way too flashy.

The force is strong with this one.
